dustbuster Cordless Handheld Vacuum, Portable Vacuum for Car and Home Rechargeable, Powerful Suction, Wide Mouth (HHVI315JO42)

First, let me say I've been wanting a handheld for a long time. It was an absolute pain using my upright to vacuum all the stairs! Which means the stairs were filthy! :) I was SO excited to get this! Then I received it. And let me tell you, first impressions, I had scheduled a return. Make sure you understand battery powered handhelds BEFORE you buy this and write a crappy review! I have a 3600 sq ft home. I followed the directions; charged for 16 hours, and then let it run all the way out, which only took a few minutes. Ok fine - first charge....I get it. Back on the charger all that afternoon, probably 6 hours or so. My almost 4 year old granddaughter wanted to "help" clean for Christmas; this vacuum is light enough for her to use and - at that age - FUN! So I let her get under the couch and in the kitchen under the cupboards. She kept turning it off and asking, "ok! What next?" And it lasted maybe 5 or 6 minutes. Well, maybe it was the on-and-off-again that killed it. Back on the charger. I tried it the next morning, and it lasted a few minutes. That's it - it's going back. I started a return. After it was charging for probably 20 hours - really folks, I didn't have a stop watch - I decided to give it the old college try and use it again. I got the edging done, the basement stairs, and a bit onto my area rug where I work out before it died. Could it be?? I started doing research on hand helds - Shark, Bissell, Black + Decker - you name it. Guess what?? I didn't find a SINGLE HANDHELD that boasted lasting 20 minutes; even the expensive $80-$100 handhelds lasted only 15 minutes. I'm not sure what my expectations were but I had hoped to edge everything and be able to vacuum the couch, my pupper's couch, stairs ... all in one swoop. Maybe that'll be possible after i get it good and then only have to sweep over it. But the fact of the matter is, whether you spend $35 or $95, you have about 15 minutes of good suction power before they shut off. Ok that's my story and here's my review! Pros: It is great for suction power. It gets the people hair and the pupper's hair very well (my poor husband - there are 4 female humans and 1 female dog in this house; he is the only male and does not shed like the rest of us). The attachments are wonderful! It is very easy to clean: just pop the filter out, shake, and back in. Rinsing it in water and letting it dry is a breeze as well, plus it saves money on buying new filters (i don't know if this is standard in these hand-helds). I like that it has a little wall piece where you can lock in and store the vacuum off the floor/shelf. Cons: Really, B+D, you could have put a little LED for charging. It would have cost 50 cents and you could have charged $5 more for it. I really want to throw charged battery life in here, but I've already covered it and it's redundant. Plastic. I hate plastic parts. The wall piece is plastic and I'm sure will end up breaking. It's not badly designed, but it's plastic! Overall: After educating myself on dustbusters/handheld vacuums, this is a great little vacuum, and especially for the price. If anything is going to change, it really needs to be a charging LED is installed. A battery life indicator would be nice, but since it only lasts 15 minutes, that maybe overkill. I would recommend this and now that I'm more knowlegable about these products, am excited to use it more!

This is my second purchase. My first lasted for six years before the battery gave out. It’s a simple vacuum which gets the job done. Highly recommended.

Looove my lil'hand-held B+D cordless vacuum, which I use daily in the bathroom. Fits perfectly in my sink drawer and does the job just fine. Fast shipping, good price, very handy! The only improvement that comes to mind is the actual usage time, which is only 15 min! After that, I have to recharge it for 16 hours, which I do overnight. So only 4 stars for that! Other than that, I am totally happy with my B+D, and can recommend it = THUMBS UP!

I have owned perhaps half a dozen hand vacs over the years. This one is by far the best one! Light weight but super powerful & strong suction, and costs less than most others. When I need another one, I will buy this again! I only wish it had a charging indicator light.

I bought this in 2020, its now August 2026 this lil vacuum jus now gave up, lost its suction, for the past 6 years it worked perfectly, jus recently noticed that a full charge wasn't lasting as long as it used to but it was still cleaning like a champ, till today when the motor got noticeably louder and lost its suction. Time to try a newer model 😋

Great little vacuum. Use almost daily for small jobs in house. Have had over a year without any issues.

This vacuum worked excellently for cleaning sand, dirt and dog hair from my SUV. It has almost as strong power as my home vacuum. The photo shows where i cleaned and where i didn't. It works great. Until it doesn't. And therein lies its extremely annoying - and largely inexcusable - shortcoming. It has NO power indicator light. No light to warn of a depleting battery and no light to indicate if it is charging or that the charging is complete. I felt that the great performance many reviews praised would certainly overcome that shortfall. I was wrong. That a highly regarded company like Black & Decker would sell such a product, without this very basic light, which likely would cost it pennies, including the build process, says as much about the company as the product. Bottom line is, regardless of how wonderful the vacuum may work, without the ability to know the state of its battery and when it is fully charged, enters a wholly unnecessary concern and frustration into the use of an otherwise very good product making it untrustworthy. And it doesn't help that it does not stay fully charged if not used for a little while. Bottom line is I don't keep this in or near the vehicle, which is the place I intended to use it, because I cannot trust it will have the power to do its job. Come on B&D! I'm sure many would be willing to pay the 50 cents more to make this otherwise great vacuum useful. This seemingly minor "oversight" had me contemplating giving the product 3, or even 2, stars. But, if you think the light is unimportant and want very good power, I recommend this item. But, be warned: I thought the absence of the power/charging light was no big deal. It is.

I love this hand-held vacuum. I don't know why in the world I waited so long to get one. This Black and Decker battery-powered vac arrived all put together (except, of course, the part that attaches to the wall). I really needed a convenient vacuum that would let me easily clean the dirt and pebbles out of my car floors which get dirty fast. And boy does it make short order of cleaning there. I confess I have not had it but maybe a week, and I like to wait at least a few months before making judgment on an item, but I love this. Cleaning is already a pain so why should it be any more difficult? If you have small places, a car you have to park in the dirt, a pet that sheds and you need something light and reliable, this is your vacuum. I do have a shop vac that is really good and am happy with. But it has to be plugged in and hauling it around is a pain. I first ooked at this vacuum (made by a reliable company) but I was in a hurry. Then, just two weeks later I saw it again on good sale while looking for something else. No fear! I snatched it up. The vacuum does not come charged but doing that is easy. The charging cord is plugged into the vac, and the other end goes into an electrical outlet. The manual recommends charging at least 16 hours before using. The only downside is it comes with one filter, which can be washed. I am going to look for replacements just in case so I don't have to wash anything. I vacuumed my car and and the sandy car seat mats are clean. I also used my drill to put in the screws to the plastic piece to hang it in the laundry room. You do not have to do that, but why not? So glad to snatch this in a sale. It has a good ranking among battery-powered vacs. I hope you get a sale, too, makes the deal all the more sweeter. This was a prime covered purchase with one day delivery and free shipping Name brand vac. This is the first time I added photos so, I hope they come out. woof!

Works very well (not excellent).

I bought it for daily use it’s really helpful

Muito bom

Yo tengo una aspiradora grande y pensé comprar una de mano, así que mis expectativas no eran muchas, sin embargo, este producto me dejo muy contenta, aspira perfectamente el sillón y en pocos minutos queda como nuevo; yo tengo gatos así que lidiar con el pelo era mucho tiempo me he ahorrado horas de trabajo. Vale la pena decir que no es muy potente pero cumple con su cometido y las características de la descripción son precisas, el filtro es lavable, es fácil de limpiar; la pila dura 45 minutos; creo que lo único a criticar es que no tiene indicador de carga, así que nunca sabes cuando está baja la pila y cuando ya se encuentra 100% recargada.

I've had this for about 2 weeks now and use it daily to vacuum an endless supply of pine needles in our entry, and ashes/wood splinters around our woodstove and hearth. I also found out that my husband used it in the workshop once for picking up heaven-knows-what. We're both really happy with it, it has good suction, is easy to use, and so far the battery charge lasts a LONG time -- I think when I first charged it, I used it daily for about a week before it needed to be recharged (instructions say to let it run down completely the first time you charge it). I find I'm now using it to just pick up loose bits of dog hair, fluff and debris that accumulates on our hardwood floors. We have 5 small dogs and it's keeping up with them!
